0035: Statistics to date #2

As before, I am not meticulous about keeping all the facts and figures of my ride.
I ride for the views, people, food and freedom

And with the messing around of getting on and off trains, generous lifts and assistance from people, I am not sure I could say my distances are accurate.
Still, I am travelling so it counts.
Right now I am in Kingwood, roughly 30 miles north of Houston Texas

Total mileage = 7598 miles or 12228 kilometres approx.
(New York was the last place I measured my distance)

Days on road: 148 I think

Distance to Tierra del Fuego: Still no idea!

About 30 days of serious rain and countless minor showers.
4 major thunderstorms

Biggest thrill so far: arriving at Niagara falls, and the steak I had afterwards to celebrate!

Biggest disappointment so far (apart from US VISA policy for honest travellers): The lack of cycling paths and routes in the southern part of the USA and the fact I am travelling so quickly through the regions.
